Last Thursday was quite a day for NYC youth development! It was our honor at PASE to support the State of the Sector of Youth Development Conference and to participate in so many thought-provoking conversations about how to ensure that our incredible sector and its workforce thrives. As our CEO Alison Overseth would say, youth development's superpower is its workforce. Coming together to collectively listen, reflect, and dream about how to better support that workforce, including through creating strong career pathways, was incredibly energizing. Thank you to the other members of the Collaborative for Advancing Youth Development for sharing your wisdom through such great panels, keynotes, and workshops, and for your continuous work and innovation to enhance our sector.
